My Baby Looks Like … Suri Cruise

Thanks to everyone who responded to our requests for more “My Baby Looks Like …” submissions. I wanted to get this one up before the end of the week, because next week will be packed with a lot of Dark Crystal stuff, our long-awaited two-part tribute to Frontier Village and some other surprises.

While it has got to be strange to have a child who resembles George Bush or the Heat Miser, it’s an entirely different dynamic when your baby or toddler looks like Suri Cruise. (Adeline is on the left and Suri is on the right.) If she were my child, I’d constantly take pictures and try to sell them to the tabloids for $250,000, hoping nobody would be able to tell the difference.

Adeline’s mother Elizabeth Steele sent in the photo, and apparently she’s not a huge TomKat fan (is anybody any more?):

“I only know this because we are frequently stopped by avid People and US Weekly readers on airplanes, in restaurants, and most recently outside of Shanghai Kelly’s after the Union Street Festival.”

“They are always female, often blonde and occasionally drunk — like the Union Street Festival girl who kept telling me “You have to see this,” as our look-alike daughter was attached to the front of my husband (who bears a passing resemblance to Tom Cruise, only taller and more normal).”

Thanks, Elizabeth and Adeline! And everyone else — keep sending submissions to phartlaub@sfchronicle.com. The guidelines for “My Baby Looks Like …” are here.
